WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday accused his predecessor, Donald Trump, of spreading a ¡°web of lies¡± to undermine U.S. democracy in a speech on the anniversary of the deadly Capitol attack by Trump supporters who tried to undo his 2020 election defeat.
Speaking at the white-domed building where rioters smashed windows, assaulted police and sent lawmakers fleeing for their lives on Jan. 6, 2021, Biden said Trump¡¯s false claims that the election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud could unravel the rule of law and subvert future elections.
¡°A former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. He¡¯s done so because he values power over principle,¡± Biden said. ¡°He can¡¯t accept he lost.¡±
